[Thunderbolt Android Development] TDevilsG:
Hi Guys,

I need some help!!!!!!!!

I have tried rooting my phone multiple times now (at least seven or eight times). I actually had it rooted once but somehow lost it when trying to flash the rom. Now, my problem is that the version I am running now says 1.03.605.10 (When I first tried rooting the phone it said 605.9, so it worked). I know that "If the above number ends in 605.6 or 605.9 then you can root," and I have tried factory resetting the phone in order to get back to this original version but have had no success. What can I do to get back to 605.6 or 605.9 so I can root? The last time I tried to root the phone, I replaced the new PG05IMG.zip file with the older file and I was never asked if I wanted to update the 2nd time around. In fact, I was asked if I wanted to update when I had to downgrade and put the first (renamed) PG05IMP.zip file on and reloaded to bootloader, which seems backwards. Shouldn't I have not gotten the update message on the downgrade?

Can somebody please help me? It's driving me crazy.

You'll only see the SD card if you select the 'Disk drive' option when you plug in the USB; if you leave it on the 'Charge only' option you'll see something else.

I'm not an expert in this, but I don't believe you're supposed to copy psneuter, busybox and exploits zips to your SD card; you're supposed to extract exploits.zip into the platform-tools directory (where adb is) and the batch file will take care of pushing everything to the proper locations on the phone. The only files that you move to the SD card are the two versions of PG051MG.zip.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TDevilsG:
I believe you are correct. You extract (copy) everything from the exploits zip into the platform-tools file. You don't copy anything to your drive except for the two PG05IMG.zip files (at the proper time). You'll know you did it right when you see the command prompt recognizing these line items as opposed to saying such and such line item is not recognized.

Can someone please help me with my question two posts previous to this? Thank you! :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] catalyst105:
I don't think it is seeing the card either.

I have disk drive selected on the phone. When I go into the SD & phone storage under settings on the phone it shows available space 23.71GB and has the option to "unmount SD card" when it is not connected to the PC. When I connect it to the PC as a disk drive, the available memory says unavailable and it changes to a greyed out "mount SD card- insert an SD card for mounting". And I have the psneuter, busybox, and exploits zips in the sdk>platform tools folder, not on the phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] catalyst105:
This is what is in the drive when I connect the phone. Is this the SD card or internal memory?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cocoabro:
That's the SD card.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] spdrcr999:
I'm having the same problem as described above. I am supposed to copy the zip files to the root of the internal sd, correct? I can't get my computer to recognize anything but my external card. I've installed the HTC sync, and the Verizon Vcast software trying to get it to see my device with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am rapidly losing hair to this process.:mad:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] T41NT204:
im rooting a friends tbolt, it meets all the requirements, but i dont get root access, busybox installed but no root. any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cocoabro:
You're supposed to copy to the external SD card, not to the internal memory. When you select 'Disk drive', you're looking at the external SD card on your computer.

You don't need HTC Sync or Verizon Vcast.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] catalyst105:
I was having a problem when I furst got the phone with my computer seeing my phone at all. You have to call Verizon and have them disable Vcast from your account.

Update: I'm rooted now, but I went the adb route.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
To everyone who has sent me a PM in regards to getting help with the script, sorry If I have not replied, it has been a bit over whelming and I've been pretty busy. If you want help go to chat.andirc.net and join #thunderbolt then just type my name Captainkrtek and I will be notified :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BurnOne77:
I did this yesterday, went very smoothly. Was even fun even had a few questions for the captain since this is my first Android. Great easy root method and thanks for the help and pointers Captain.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bigmonkiki:
HELP!!

i am stuck in the final step where you copy the PG05ING.zip (not the downgrade version) to SD card, the script checked the zip, but keeps looping the action of bootloader and checking the zip (not asking if i want to upgrade...but i did see this question in previous step when we rename the downgrade version). So i decide to choose recovery, and then an unrecognized device icon shows up. So i removed the battery and boot into the bootloader mode, but it's doing the same thing, not passing to the step asking if i want to upgrade, i am stuck with this "PG05IMG.zip" progress, and I accidentally close the one-click command windwo lol WHAT SHOULD I DO???

update: i choose to reset to factory, so i can start up the phone. Can i still root my phone?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ecomaniac:
My first droid...rooted and ready to Rock 'n' Rom! Thanks so much to all for the incredible dev work!!

T'was a tad scary. Like some others I had to uncheck and recheck debugging mode to get adb to find it a couple of times. Patience, reading it all through, attention to detail, and morning sobriety wins the day. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] palomosan:
Where exactly do you unzip the exploit zip, to the tools folder or to the platform folder.

I'm asking because before rooting the phone it said

ADB not recognized as an internal or an external command, operable program or batch file.

What am I doing wrong, thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BurnOne77:
You have to direct it to wherever you have the adb folder when you start the batch.

The exploit zip should be extracted to wherever the adb.exe is, it was in platform tools for me if I remember correctly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] onsht1kll:
Worked like a charm on the first try .. Thank you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] teckels:
S-Off

Hey, took me a bit but I was able to get it, thanks so much, great to be back in the Root game. One note, most of the issues are the set up. If you have never downloaded SDK, knowing that Google moved ADB and you need to move back to the right folder before the installer and recognize ADB. Moving exploit files to that same folder that ADB is in. And installing HTC Sync if your having trouble with the normal VZW installer from your phone. Other than that the process is simple once you have the right set up. Goodbye City ID!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Brenardo:
I am getting to the final step. After flashing the second PG05IMG.zip

Press any key to continue. . .

This process may take some time

Been here for over 10 minutes and nothing is happening... USB debugging is enabled. And I am in charge only mode.

What to do now?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Funzy32:
You may need to pick up where it left off using the manual method like I had to do. Same happened to me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] brozroy:
I have same problem. Did you solve problem?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ecomaniac:
Guys, try unchecking, then rechecking usb debugging. It hung on me and some others that way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] palomosan:
Thanks, I'm going to try it now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dmordarski:
This worked perfect, Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nefariouss:
Worked like a charm first try. Thanks.

Moved over from an Evo and I must say it's a great phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbc00per:
I successfully downgraded, (flashed first img) including updates that run. rebooted etc etc, debugging wasn't enabled on reboot and after restarting it, adb did not restart again, waited like ten minutes or more, the phone works properly and has service, is there a way to manually push 2nd img file to the phone will this successfully finish the rooting process. I attempted to restart the one click simple root bat file but the ruu no longer match because of the downgrade, and I'm afraid of hitting yes when it say you cannot root if numbers don't match. if anyone could give me pointers or tell me what I need to do to finish rooting or if i need to upgrade then downgrade again. I would be greatly appreciative.

as a side note the second proper pc***.img mage is already on the sd card

I'm somewhat familiar with the rooting process, I've rooted two evos.

I'm making an assumption that I may just need a adb command to reboot the phone into

bootloader, but im worried my assumption may lead to a brick
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BSDADON:
I actually ran into this when I rooted mine. I just disabled debugging and enabled it again and it would work. I don't know why but it did. I'm now happily rooted and restoring all my apps. Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] digitalscars:
any idea why i keep getting adb is not recognized internal or external command?

Edit: nvm, you have to put in the entire directory android-sdk-windows/tools
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ecomaniac:
In latest version, it will be .../platform-tools. You may need to update.

I hope to do this way soon after gingerbread so keep it alive!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oscar925:
If I root but keep stock Rom will I still be able to get OTAs??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Smok3d:
Yes, as long as you have the bloatware, you will receive OTAs.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oscar925:
Thanks for the quick response!! Looking for a kernel to help the battery ...love all of the support for the thunderbolt...alota choices :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] vinzky:
is the link broken for the root?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
DL link works for me...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ballisticn8:
ok, just renamed

and put it on the root of the sd card renaming it PG05IMG.zip and ran the bootloader.

bootloader is done and is asking me if i want to start update, VOL UP YES, VOL DOWN NO, I really am attempting to go thru this step by step but it doesnt cover this question coming up... o_O

Md5's matched, havent used an htc device before so this hboot deal is all kinda strange to me. I've rooted and flashed files on my OG Droid, as well as last night using RSD lite to downgrade my Droid X back to stock Froyo before flashing Gingerbread. HTC is new to me, it seems so much more confusing than Moto was... :-\

nm, found this in the step by step adb process and just as i figured, need to allow the upgrade to flash, holy crap when you select an img file on moto to flash it just flashes the damn thing. ok, on my way to root.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wethead4:
is there an advantage of using the step by step method in the development forum to using this one click method or are they the same?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] onelegofthestool:
just rooted my girlfriend's thunderbolt w this, a million thanks for making this so easy!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Awesome :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donopj2:
Nice Script. Root Access without a problem. Thanks for this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trueplaya89:
After installing the the downgrade ruu, and the restart to flash the new boot loader, the script is stuck at rebooting phone... and yes the MD5 sums matched up.

Help anyone?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BurnOne77:
Its been a while since I did this, anytime I had a hang, I had to enable USB debugging again and it would go thru. Sorry if thats not any help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trueplaya89:
Ironically... that was my problem. Thanks Rattle, lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BurnOne77:
ROFL how you know it was me :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trueplaya89:
It was your Avatar haha. Lucky me, the PG05.img I downloaded was apparently bad, re downloaded it but how do I get back into bootloader?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mrwebb:
I think the Download link is broken, everytime I click the oneclickroot link it opens up a page thats blank...??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trueplaya89:
Would opening up another instance of ADB, and doing " adb reboot" then get it into recovery? I'm not 100% sure if that will work. Then I would just get it to see the phone first. Anything for a noob, I'm not sure if I am going in the right direction.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trueplaya89:
Finally got back to messing with it. I did that in another command prompt and it closed out the script... just did the second pc05img... now I know CK said not to ask to help root... is there a way to skip parts in the script? Or just some instruction since I fell off track. Wouldn't mind knowing what I need to do next? :confused:

EDIT : an idea.

I opened up the bat file to see the list, now if I am understanding this correctly. I just use each individual command to finish the root process? Please correct me if I am wrong..

"adb push psneuter /data/local

adb push busybox /data/local

adb push su /data/local

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/psneuter

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/busybox

adb shell /data/local/psneuter

Because I followed the instructions here, which give no such warning, and bricked my WiFi Xoom. =/

I'll be honest - you found the forum but somehow missed all the previous posts regarding this?
[Xoom General] modplan:
How can we fix a softbrick? I did not think they would be different and followed a guide on AndroidCentral. Now I am at the Motorola Dual Core Technology screen and it is going no where.
[Xoom General] ericdabbs:
I agree with the OP. At least for the time being since there seems to be some discrepancy between the wifi and wifi+3g software versions.

It doesn't hurt to add in the title of the thread or in the body of the OPs text to add something about whether it is compatible with wifi only and/or wifi+3g.

I know people can read pages and pages of a thread to find out about the compatibility but I think we should help each out and try to prevent as many soft bricks of the xoom as possible.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Wouldn't the first red flag be that the WiFi Xoom isn't even generally available until tomorrow? There hasn't been a need to make the discrepancy between 3G and WiFi models up to this point.

Do you expect methods to be made for the WiFi Xoom when its not even on sale unless you have a lucky store that decided to sell early lol.
[Xoom General] Shizlak:
Google.

10char
[Xoom General] Shizlak:
Nope, I would expect it to be with and without a 3G mini pci card. There's no reason for the boot software to be different.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Idk it doesn't necessarily make too much sense for them to be different, but there's no reason to take it upon yourself to try it before its been approved or at least tested lol. Sorry but the first thing you should've done is the research to see if there are differences first. I think you could've waited 24 hrs and seen what people find out.
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
since u are sitting on a soft brick, try flashing tiamat and see if it fixes it. If not, a stock boot img should hit the interwebz in a matter of minute's.
[Xoom General] goldsworthy:
No brick returns?

My neighbor is a Best Buy manager he told me the higher ups know about these bricks. He was instructed NOT to take returns if the xoom is in this condition. I would imagine other stores are going to do the same!
[Xoom General] trackerk:
The instructions on screen when you unlock clearly state that you are voiding the warranty. They shouldn't take returns on bricked xooms.
[Xoom General] MikeyMike01:
Only if you're a moron would you allow them not to return it.

Sent from my Captivate
[Xoom General] p-slim:
Everybody knows the root method was posted over a month ago, obviously that is for 3g xooms. The op knew what he was doing, the Guy who created that thread a month ago isn't coming bavk to change titles for you, make sure you read a guide that says wifi only root, personally that's what I would've done instead of blaming other people. If you're smart enough to root but can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you. That said you have 15-30 days to return your stuff as long as its not physical damaged, best buy has to take it back, don't listen to the other guy who said differently

Everytime I sync it recommends a wp7 update. It says Feb 2011 update. Do I do this? Will it brick or anything??

NO!!! HD2 isn't meant to run WP7 is it, next time SEARCH the forum!!! come on this like the 50th thread asking the same question.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chris5105077:
I'M A CHINESE.I hope my experience can help all WP7 fans. If this thread help you,It's my pleasure.

detail steps：

1. MAKE sure your phone has a 7004 or 7008 rom，than used chevronWP7.cer and chevronWP7.EXE to unlock your WP7. (this is step you can find in this forum)

2. After UNLOCK! prevent relocked. (belows is the easy way to edit your registry)

for HTC download xap in http://dl.dbank.com/c0u5q3xic8 and sideload it to your phone and run it ,press the green button.

for Samsung devices,see post #17 in this thread.

3. Update to NoDo via zune and your device still in unlocked state! (for some people cannot get nodo from zune, see below method,100% successful rate.)

methods to get zune nodo. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012189 !!!!

Download USAIP.pbk open it and connect to EUROIP PPTP Hungary with

USERNAME: demo

PASSWORD: demo

Connect your phone to the PC

Disable WIFI in your phone but be sure not to open FLIGHT MODE

OPEN "Use cellular data connection to check for updates" in SETTINGS-UPDATE, AND KEEP YOUR PHONE IN THIS SCREEN

Start Zune and keep it running all the time

Manually search for an update within Zune (setting-phone-update)

After a few seconds (about 20-25 seconds for me) disable "Use cellular data connection to check for updates on your phone" --> WAIT FOR 20-30S,The update shows up! and enjoy it!

I MANAGED TO GET UPDATE BY USING THIS METHOD!!!

HAVE fune!
[Windows Phone 7 General] chris5105077:
the update should go via zune. it should be official update。
[Windows Phone 7 General] BellPego:
If it works that's good news.. But is it that easy? I would thing that the update edits the registry...

If you update to 7008 the unlock still works that I know.. Are you sure that's not what happaned.. And you just got the Pre-NoDo update...?
[Windows Phone 7 General] chris5105077:
the vision is 7390.after 7008，unlock，then prevent unlock， then connect to zune， if you can find update， then you success。many chinese succeed，the only problem is MS，it promise everyone can update，but only very few people receive the notice of update through zune。

The whole prevent-relock thing essentially does this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""

On Samsung devices you can use the TouchXplorer Registry Editor to do this. Though it has limited access on Samsung devices. It will show an "Access Denied" when you open the DeviceReg registry-key. But it will still allow you to create new values there and overwrite the old values. So, open the DeviceReg-key and create the "portalUrlProd" and "PortalUrlInt" values as empty strings. That will prevent your Samsung from relocking. And as it seems, that tweak will even survive the NoDo-update.
